Better off at local big 4. Too much opportunity cost there.

People who left and now in CC / MOFO etc share similar sentiments.

How does the training in Baker's disputes compare to local Big 4 such as Drew or A&G?

It is well understood that pretty much the only thing Baker TCs have going for it is the salary. Training, retention and deal-quality loses out big time to B4.

Fully agree.

The world is bigger than just Singapore, especially if you do M&A. In that regard, CC offers the best training + exit opportunities. Unless of course you want to be SME king, then by all means stay in your local firms, make partner and haggle with the towkays over fees.

Not fully accurate - Tax and Finance are decent departments.
